About
This theme is HDPI only. If someone wants to port to MDPI then go ahead.
This is pretty much a port of my Minimalist theme to the T-Mobile theme engine that is used in CM7.
The biggest difference in this and Minimalist is that this has widget backgrounds. The backgrounds are a rectangle which is black with 25 percent transparency; there is also an inverted version of that for widgets with black text. There are also a few layout files that are not able to be utilized in Facebook,apk, GenieWidget.apk, Gmail.apk, and Vending.apk, so they look slightly different than in Minimalist.
The Calendar edits from Minimalist are not included in the theme because of current limitations in the theme engine, but it is available to flash by itself.
There are a few things in framework-res.apk that are not themed at certain times by the theme engine and the lockscreen is not themed. There is a morph that will allow to theme those items, and it must be applied every time you flash a new ROM. It also has my modified Ubuntu Clockopia.ttf included.
The Ubuntu font that is used in Minimalist is included to be flashed, and it must be flashed every time you flash a new ROM.
You may get an error about assets missing, ignore it and apply the theme.
There are over 2000 resources included in this theme that I had to type.
If you want to use this as a base for your theme, then feel free to use it.
I have attached the full sized version of the screen shot used as the preview image, for more screen shots, go view one of my Minimalist threads as it looks close enough to that.
MinimalistBread: because this theme require layout .xml edits, you MUST apply the MinimalistBread_Layout_Morph.zip for this theme to work properly.
There is no wallpaper in this theme by default, so it should not replace your wallpaper, but sometimes there is a bug where some random image from the theme will be set as the wallpaper after applying the theme.

ZipThemer is the easiest and stablest way to apply this, and is recommended, or you can use MetaMorph (see below).
Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close (Press menu then select settings after Metamorph has been launched to access this)
Press Unzip/Extract new theme
Navigate to where you have MinimalBread_Morph.zip located
Select the file
Press close on the on the pop up that appears
Press Apply all!
The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up, then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
If you device randomly reboots, then set the metamorph delay to 5000 and reapply just the .apk's that it either rebooted on, and if there were any that did not apply when it rebooted, then apply those as well.
The following has been depreciated (small text). MinimalBread Morph
Updated 07-24-2011.
Use for either MinimalBread or MinimalistBread
This will theme the lockscreen (It is transparent, the Lense style is the only one that is not), the menu that comes up when you hold the power button, Clockopia.ttf in DeskClock.apk/assets/fonts, and progress_horizontal.xml.
Even though progress_horizontal.xml is now in the theme, it does not cover everything, so if you want to be thorough, then this is still needed.

MinimalBread Layout Morph
Updated file 04-24-2011
Makes the text in the call log details of a call white instead of black in the header.
Makes the text for the Torch widget and RenderFX widget have white text
This is not required, but does provide a few nice extra edits
Gmail must be in /system/app/ under the exact name Gmail.apk.
Navigate to where you have MinimalBread_Morph.zip located
Select the file
Press close on the on the pop up that appears

It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
Everything should be applied now; if it is not, then go back and apply the .apk that did not apply
MinimalBread Calendar
Use for either MinimalBread or MinimalistBread
Updated 09-29-2011; added 10-04-2011.
If you have an odd bar in your calendar app using an old version of this, then this should fix that.
battery_percent - Adds battery percentage (0-100) to the battery icons in the status bar.
black_pulldown_background - Changes the blue transparent background to a black of the same transparency (75%).
blue_fully_connected_status_bar_icons - Changes the status bar icons from white/gray when connected to google servers/not connected to google servers to blue/white respectively.
menu_icons_old - Replaces the menu icons with the old styled menu icons.
menu_icons_old_white - Replaces the menu icons with the old styled menu icons colored white. (NOTE: some of the icons will be invisible in certain places after applying this.)
new_menu_icons_white - Replaces the menu icons with icons that have been colored white. (NOTE: some of the icons will be invisible in certain places after applying this.)
new_menu_icons_white_black_background - Replaces the menu icons with icons that have been colored white and have a black background behind them so that they are visible in all places.
old_dialer - Replaces the dialer/incall buttons with the old images.
white_gb_status_bar_icons - Updated to include battery/download/upload images on 05-03-2011. Changes the status bar icons to the stock GingerBread status bar icons that have been themed white. (NOTE: not connected to google servers icons are 50% transparent of the connected to google servers icons, also the google voice status bar icons are just plain stock.)
Method One
Advanced users (with simplified down instructions)
Requirements: ADB, APKManager, 7-Zip (or equivalent software), morph .zip files on computer, MinimalBread.apk found above, or current market release from /data/app/.
Step 1: Get apk from above or get the apk off of your phone, if you get the apk from above skip to step 3.
Step 2: If you are stubborn and not using the apk from above, then do the following
Code:
adb shell ls /data/app/
(look for com.david1171.minimalbread.apk it may have a -1 or -2 before .apk)
(the following command will place the apk in your working directory, if you do not want it there, then specify which directory you would like it to be placed in)
adb pull /data/app/com.david1171.minimalbread.apk MinimalBread.apk
Step 3: Open the .apk file with 7-Zip.
Step 4: Open each of the morph .zip files that you want to add to the .apk.
Step 5: Go into the MinimalBread folder and drag and drop the res folder from each morph .zip files that you want to use into the root directory of the .apk file.
Step 6: After adding all of the files to the .apk close the 7-Zip window.
Step 7: Drag and drop the .apk file in the place-apk-here-for-signing folder of APKManager.
Step 8: Start APKManager (run Script.bat)
Step 9: Enter 16 (sign an apk) into APKManager and press enter.
Step 10: Once it has finished signing the .apk, then you can install the .apk. If you have any previous version of the theme installed, then first uninstall that version.
Step 11: Install the .apk by either placing on your sdcard and installing like any .apk or with the following command
Code:
adb install -r MinimalBread.apk
Method Two
Easiest way if not able to do method one.
Requirements: ADB or Terminal, Zip Themer, morph .zip files on sdcard
Step 1: Run the following commands from with ADB or through the terminal
Code:
(if using ADB)
adb remount
adb shell
(if using terminal a.k.a. kicking yourself in the groin)
su
(or whatever the command to remount your /system partition as rw is for your phone)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(rest of the commands will work with either ADB or terminal)
ls /data/app/
(look for com.david1171.minimalbread.apk it may have a -1 or -2 before .apk)
mv /data/app/com.david1171.minimalbread.apk /system/app/MinimalBread.apk
(use cp instead of mv if mv does not work)
Step 2: Open Zip Themer
Step 3: Press +Theme
Step 4: Navigate to where you have the morph .zip files stored on your sdcard
Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 and 4 as many times until you have all the morphs you want added, when done, proceed to Step 6.
Step 6: Press *Output
Step 7: If the name of the output file is satisfactory, press done and go on to step 8, otherwise, change the name of the output file to your liking.
Step 8: Press Build It!
Step 9: Create undo file if you feel the need to.
Step 10: Once Zip Themer has made the .zip file, then uninstall any version of MinimalBread in /data/app/.
Step 11: Reboot into recovery
Step 12: Select the .zip file that you created with Zip Themer.
Step 13: Flash it.
Step 14: Reboot your phone once the file is done being flashed.
Step 15: Open the Theme Chooser, apply MinimalBread, and reboot when finished.
Method Three
Most annoying way (to me at least)
Requirements: Requirements: ADB or Terminal, MetaMorph, morph .zip files on sdcard
Step 1: Run the following commands from with ADB or through the terminal
Code:
(if using ADB)
adb remount
adb shell
(if using terminal a.k.a. kicking yourself in the groin)
su
(or whatever the command to remount your /system partition as rw is for your phone)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(rest of the commands will work with either ADB or terminal)
ls /data/app/
(look for com.david1171.minimalbread.apk it may have a -1 or -2 before .apk)
mv /data/app/com.david1171.minimalbread.apk /system/app/MinimalBread.apk
(use cp instead of mv if mv does not work)
Step 2: Uninstall any version of MinimalBread located in /data/app/.
Step 3: Apply the .zip files with MetaMorph (there are several different places in this post that document how to use metamorph, another one is redundant).
Step 4: Reboot your phone once you have applied all of the morphs that you would like to apply.
Step 5: Open the Theme Chooser, apply MinimalBread, and reboot when finished.
F.A.Q.
Q. Why are there morph files?
A. There are certain aspects where the theme engine does not work, such as: the lockscreen, the power menu, and layout .xml files.
Q. Why is my lockscreen transparent after applying MinimalBread Morph?
A. It is designed that way to keep a minimal look. There is a morph that will give you lockscreen tabs and icons or just icons if you so desire.
1) when a google account is sync'd, the status icons go from white to blue (which kinda seems to throw off the overall feel of the theme), can this be changed so they stay white?
2) the only way I can see my lockscreen is to use the "Lense" lockscreen (sliding tab and both rotaries show nothing, they still work, just don't show anything)

example of blue icons:
example of no lockscreen:
The lockscreen slider are supposed to be transparent to keep the theme as minimal as possible
And I agree with you about the icons not really fitting in with the theme it puts me of using it. Just need to ask the dev nicely and he might change them for us.
